Every matchbook sets a mood. Drawing us back to a place in time, to people we may have once known, and maybe still do. Each matchbook triggers memories, remembrances of sights and smells forgotten. Names and numbers, inked inside of covers. Old flames. Hidden in hand.

Oooh the nostalgia! The endless fictions one can weave. Such imaginings..

After 7 years here on WordPress, I feel the urge to try my hand at something new. And what could be more fitting than something that fits in my hand? So I’ve started a new blog – a side blog, so to speak – called Matchbook Momma; a place for me to document and share my collection of matchbooks. It’s dedicated to preserving a piece of collective history that I find personally enchanting. It’ll also be a fun way for me to take more photos via Instagram. My first post is up now, new posts to be published daily.

One thought on “The Not-So-Little Match Girl”

OH! And to circumvent questioning – NO I WILL NOT BE GIVING UP THIS BLOG. I still love wordpress and will continue writing here about anything and everything that comes to mind. Matchbook Momma is just a side project – something for me to enjoy daily w/out bogging down this already large site. Thx!
